You did very good work at building a complexed model like the ship kit, you should be proud, It's more then i would take on. You need to do more research about carrier operations. Some of the things that can help you in the future for a project like this are: Learn what the personal jersey colors mean. I see very few Blue and yellow which would be the predominant colors followed by red, green, purple and white. Jet engines would be changed on the hanger deck only. Fork lifts would only be on the flight deck during ship to ship replenishment operations. All support equipment would be yellow with one exception. Ordinance would be on small red push carts because of the size of the ordinance elevators. As stated below F15 and F16 aircraft are not carrier basted, they do not have the structure to take the ponding of carrier operation. Life raft containers are the same color as the ship not white. The flight deck should be a flat finish not gloss. The flight and hanger decks surfaces are covered with a non skid material about 1/2" thick applied with a mop that are then painted with the deck markings. The surface will ware out a pair of boot in 5 months. There are tiedown locations on the elevators just like the flight and hanger decks. Aircraft are tied down when on the elevator for movement. don't want to loose one over the side. Aircraft would be parked with their tail over the side and the main mount wheels at the deck edge. There is a railing that rises out of the line around the elevators on the flight deck when they are down. I know this looks like I'm being picky but I have made a lot of mistakes in the pasted because I did not have the knowledge gained from good research. The internet can provide a lot and if you have questions go to a blog site and ask. people that have been there are a good source. My time on a carrier was a long time ago but operation and procedures have not changed much. Keep doing good work like this and research what you do.

It's a nice job you put a lot of work into it,But uou could have done a better job with the Air Wing and they never had a CH-53 aboard were are the SH3H Sea King helos Or MH60 s helos and they would never toe a jet engine topside on the flight deck!!

The build itself is amazing but the aircraft are a bit inaccurate, the CH-53 and the CH-47 are marine helicopters and have not served on the enterprise. The f-35 is a bit too modern for the enterprise and the f-16 + f-15 are strictly not naval.. Nice build but might wanna remove those aircraft and make a ground base diorama

The wings of the Vikings are poorly folded, decals misplaced and in the wrong places, there are no railings or any photo-etching, poorly executed paint on the waterline... In general, a bad model full of flaws and without major pretensions.👎

VERY NICE build - I started my build in 2001 and only finished in 2012. YES, can HATE the additional costs (etched brass)... and we did NOT have the 3-D printed stuff. I donated it to a recruiting office - I was an Seahawk Naval Aircrewman from 87-99 (and then called back 2002-2006)... Beautiful work. I am awaiting the Trumpeter 1/350 Kitty Hawk at the moment... I served on HER for 2 years and am dreading my build to make it look like my home of those years.

Hi.. before all, congratulations for the high quality of model kit that you have realized. I make this hobby from 30years ago and I have some observations on this model. In your video can see that you have put in central fly deck a f15 (colored dark gray and details red..) this is not correct because the f15 in any version never are deployed on the carrier.. this carrier have make 3 operations during his operative life, Korea war, Viet Nam war, first gulf war and kossovo war.. (about the Korea war I'm not sure), during this operations the first squadrons is composed by A7 hawk, F8 crusader, A8 vigilante and Sea King helicopters. During the Viet Nam war, the enterprise fly group still in upgrade him jet's and the crusader are replaced by F4 phantom and the A7 become trainer aircraft and stil replace by A6b prowler... During this conflict also the US navy have ordered to any carrier wing to adopt a colour to hig visibility because initially, many aircraft are take down against "friends fire" because also the Vietnamese MIGs adopted a silver coloration.. for it, the helicopters have adopted a bi coloration White for upper side, and gray for the down side, the prowler are colored whit body: white, noose: cream, pilot canopy: black, wings border: white... Same for last squadrons of F8 .. The F4 phantom was colored body: white, pilot canopy and noose: black.. In gulf war and kossovo war the jets have painted on gray and low visibility design.. also the composition of fly group have changed.. the F14 replace the vigilante, the f18 replace the f8 crusader. Also, your flight deck is so much brilliant, and it is not true because any fly deck have a cement (hangar deck) and tarmac (in fly deck).. also the qty of aircraft is variable to 60 into 120 jet's.. All it is only my personal observation keep clear.. but when our model crafter's want realized any model type also having to make some research about the history of our model kit for realize also one model that have a historical context and realized that whit more accuracy. Sorry for.my English language not properly improved but I'm Italian..

I've got an entire battalion of miniature jets, harriers, helicopters, tanks, anti aircraft vehicles, and other support vehicles, made by Kenner in 1989, part of a megaforce collection, 2 of those carriers would work perfectly for a mother base, or at least a good size ground base.

Excellent build on the USS Interprise US Navy aircraft carrier. I dont understand why you have US Airforce F-15's & F-16's fighter jets on board. . . . as well as the US Marines CH-53 helos. Those "tanks" that ya were talking bout at deployable life rafts for the ship's crew. Ya done a very good job on this project. I served aboard the USS NIMITZ CVN-68 & the USS CONSTILATION CV-64 aircraft carriers as jet engine mechanic, aircraft maitanence, & flight deck launch & recovery personell of our squadren aircraft. Don't beat yourself up about the decals & your painting skills. Modeling of any kind at any size is very teadious but also very rewarding. Pat yourself on the back for a "JOB WELL DONE", bud. This is an excellent build as i said before. Thankya for sharing this video. Its always a welcome sight to see what my fellow modelers are putting together. If ya do another carrier build, a word of advice. . . . your flight deck should be painted flat black, not gray. But overall, an excellent build. Take care, God bless, & have a safe & wonderful Merry Christmas. "Thumbs up & happy modeling" to ya also. Seeya. Rodney.
